Problem with that sensation is that it doesn't make you smarter, more knowledgeable about the subject or more competent at the activity, it just 'feels' that way. It's simply an enhanced form of escapism. The curiosity doesn't come from within but is externally motivated by a substance which restructures neurological processes. The idea that weed improves the engagement with the world is a fallacy. Yes, it can give you a great experience short term but it fires back especially if you try to compensate depression with it.Another way to get interested into things again and immerse yourself requires hard work, there's no way around it. It requires waiver of instant gratification behaviours, and slowly building a mental setting that allows you to immerse again without hesitation. Other things in life need to be set, your mental health should be stable.

i cant get high because of my antipsychotic medication

>>320180
At least you have access to weed.
I can't get high because it's illegal and I have 0 friends, so nobody to help me get it.

Person I know that smoke weed everyday is not having paranoia, and thinks everyone in the street is looking at him, very sad to see it, I said to stop the weed, but he flat out denys that weed cause that and keep smoking everyday.

Weed's effectiveness is extremely dependent on personality. For me it has been a miraculous wonder drug even long-term (while still being able to enjoy life sober mostly), but I know that not everyone gets the same effect from it. My friend that tried it just felt sluggish and confused. Alcohol in comparison seems to give people a much more common and uniform enjoyment.

By far the worst part about weed is the culture. Stoners at large are insufferable people that speak like baboons. As someone who has viewed the culture from the inside, the stereotype is real and finding reasonable people within it to discuss weed with is impossible. I think it might become better as weed becomes more normalized around the world.

Besides obvious stuff like curing anhedonia and making bad media fun, I use it as a way to inject an artificial dose of "meaning" into my life. If you feel like your life is aimless and wandering through side quests, weed puts you back on the rails of an illusory main quest that doesn't exist.

In the beginning, I did actually learn some important about myself and my life and where I should be headed, but after integrating those lessons with my life it became more of a purely recreational/antidote thing. It's also a great window into feeling like a kid again.

The only downside is that it kind of "borrows" dopamine from the next day. I don't know if it's due to having ADHD and having bad dopamine receptors, but the price you pay for getting high one day is that the following day feels notably dull. It's not that serious though, and you snap out of it the day after that.

Do you believe in Padre Pio?

You should learn how to read and write first, OP.

>>320195
yes, I do
>>320197
No, why bother?

I will give OP the help and advice he's asking for, but wait… No, why bother?

>>320098
is it being processed or you got refused?

>>320099
refused

>>320100
Are you attached to a hospital?

>>320100
They do that because they are sick assholes. Reappeal asap and get a lawyer

>>320102
ask your hospital to help you. when I asked for bux I was refused (didn't care) but th hospital I'm linked with because of my mental illness insist on me getting bux so they wrote a letter saying I wasn't able to work (long time ago) and then I got bux. without help I wasn't getting bux at all. at the time I didn't care about bux because I was ill and very depressed and feeling suicidial compared to now so my mind wasn't on money. but now I feel better I am kind of glad to have disablebux. hope it will works for you too because you need it if you're disable, this is important. do you work?

>>320014
just go away

Don't fall for this idea, it's gay demons putting them into your mind.

>>319837
Why do you see gays everywhere

>>319841
Bad karma?
Seriously wizzies, even if you get a boner you should assume it was a demon and not yourself. This is the necessary resistance. Don't go along with their lies even if the truth is silent. Never do what they want.

>>319768
Shit scares me I fucking hate it.

>>319768
this only happens to me when I drink massive amounts of alcohol.

AI art still terrible. Im almost sure this is near the best it can produce when it comes to "drawing"

the only AI that is remotely good is sora which costs a little fortune each month

The name of the game is to buy as many robot slaves as possible if you want to make decent money.

This killed all my dreams I never pursued.
I could be like this wiz: >>317866 and laugh at others misery to ease my pain for never having pursued my own creative dreams.
Never spent the time to learn to draw, model, anything…

>The whole idea of *earning* your living with skill and craftsmanship? Gone.
It's a real shame only the things that feed the human soul, and jobs that didn't suck AS MUCH are the ones to go…

>A part me is happy with the through normgroids are going to suffer and lose their jobs.
Again I really wonder how many actual wizards here are NEETs.
I spent almost 10 years as one, but at 28 I had to get a job. Couldn't escape it.
My job felt like a miracle, home office, just have to do basic help desk stuff.
Now obviously it's ripe for being automated by AI.
I'm worried, yet I don't consider myself a "normgroid", will turn into a full fledged wizard in less than a year now.

I'm genuinely terrified as my current job is already a miracle. Anything I might learn in the meantime, get a CCNA or something to get a bit higher up wont help I fear.
It all feels futile.
Nothing to look forward to, nothing worth pursuing. All I can await is to be culled in WW3 or a pandemic or whatever else they have prepared to remove the "useless eaters".
I have to ask, what do wizards who have only themselves to depend on do nowadays?

Alright - thanks for the thoughtful response; my counter.

Art - which is to say Artistic Expression, not Art-efacts - is a subjective field, yes? The subjective tastes are and will be shaped over a life time and exist within the context of the viewer's life experiences and other feed-in tastes. You say you experience meta-stimuli through the context of the illustrations; e.g. the story and the captivation. I don't doubt that. Perhaps your experiences of artists in the past made you respond especially strongly to the sensation of sincerity.

If that holds true, then an "Artistic Experience" is essentially a roll of the dice that came up with multiple sixes on multiple axes of the viewer's weightings. E.g. specific music, specific meter, specific visual stimulus etc.

An *identical* response can be triggered by a natural landscape + a musician. I've experienced this personally; just a mountain view in sunset with someone playing a flute a little way down.

Therefore, if Artistic Experiences are unique to the individual, then *tailoring sense data to trigger an artistic experience in an individual* is within the realm of possibility. Add in a personalised algorithm and you have a recipe for, feasibly, burning out the capacity for an artistic experience by overloading them constantly.

Children are already being raised to this. If meta-art experiences are a thing, if it reduces the market value of AI investment, then that is the next target for the algorithm.

In turn, if novel emotions are the target, then saturating the senses that trigger them will also be used.

The goal of the marketers and the business owners is to control your thoughts. They openly admit to this in poetic language, Rory Sutherland is a good example.

Consider - and I mean this very seriously - that your artistic experience was primed to happen as part of the ground work or practice for the next invasion of thought.

>>318916
What now? Curation.

That, I think is the long term plan; the internet of 2000-2020 was something of a step back in the business of business, that is, limiting access to useful information, controlling options, extinguishing competition.

Saturation with noise and false data means that a curated subset to a certain standard with a fee/subscription model suddenly becomes valuable. What I took for granted when it came to research in 2010 is gradually becoming untenable in the current age. Add in the intentional crippling of free services with AISlop and headlines, and the infeasibility of operating competition *without* the AI Enhancement and you see how yet more consolidation and yet more monopoly power accumulates in the winner's hands.

I have some old math and science books, too. They are really hard to learn from if you have a low iq.

Take your meds

Life probably exist out there, very very likely in my opinion, simple life, now, for complex intelligent life, things get more complex and less probably, a genuine advanced alien civilization that can travel between the vast vast distance between stars must be extremely extremely rare, so the odd for simple life are good, for advanced interstellar civilizations not that much.

have you hears of bootes void?

It just endless nothing out there, no planets, no stars, nothing


>spanning 330 million light-years in diameter. This vast emptiness contains a significantly lower number of galaxies than expected, with only a few handfuls observed so far.


only way we get out of here is if we discover hyper drive, or some sort of worm hole

The nature of everything beyond our own solar system is completely hypothetical with theories based in nothing that we've yet to test. Space could be a cube for all we know.

>>319859
Possibly.
Honestly I'm not 100% convinced about the narratives of our own planet to begin with.
Now I'm not a flat earther or similar, but I feel like it has been proven or at least to me based on my experiences I've seen enough to believe that there is an upper class that has access to information far beyond us.
Most of modern science seems like theater.
I've read some research papers I've come across here and there, by no means do I claim to be well read on anything, but they just feel like bullshit.
Educated guesses at best, but still they are nothing more than imagination.

My biggest issue with these things is that as another wizard here points out, >>319866 too much of it is hypothetical.
Then most "educated" people just accept these things as facts and base further theories on them, because as a PHD student for example you have to write papers about SOMETHING and hard things are too hard for the average college goer so they just perpetuate bullshit.

Another aspect of this is that the education system isn't invention driven. Even when I was studying mechanical engineering (dropout) and later computer science, the hardest of the physics classes still left a lot to be desired.
I felt like the entire thing still was nothing more than a way to mold you into a worker. Your mind is framed by this supposed education so those who went through it only think in its confines.
This just perpetuates the problem. I can only imagine that there are enough falsehoods or half truths in there that no real breakthrough can be built on top of it by the average man.

As for life besides us? You can look into fun stuff like entire worlds in cells or whatnot. They have about as much substance as any other hypothesis.
We don't know enough about Earth to begin with let alone the universe.

i know that feeling op. no friends online or in real life. feels like we are a real small minority

Same, the last time I had an online friend was almost 10 yrs ago. IDK if I got boring or that ppl are just not rlly interested in making friends online anymore nowadays but when I was a kid it was super easy for me to make friends on steam. It's impossible now.

>>319536
I tried to make friends online but they don't wanna be friends with someone of my race and I get bullied a lot online games, so I keep my mic off.

Honestly porn addiction is something that's made me get online friends. Gooning is functionally like a drug habit, and the thing about drug buddies is they always have their druggie friends they hang out with.

Even when I ghost everyone, within two weeks I have a new friend I picked up from a coomer server on discord from sharing pics. These friendships can last like two years, and after the first 3 months we don't really do the gooning shit anymore as it's too awkward.

I'm a hot mess in real life but I seem to effortlessly make online contacts without even setting out to.

A literal online circlejerk.
